AGIS AIRBORNE GEOPHYSICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMReal Time Data Acquisition, Navigation and man machine communication tasks are integrated into a single unit that can be easily installed in a wide variety of mobile platforms without need for a permanent installation in the carrying vehicle.

AGIS is designed to operate using Pico Envirotec 'intelligent sensors'.  Special processors dedicated to each sensor handle tasks required by individual sensors with the main CPU concentrates on 'housekeeping' chores such as data recording, navigation, pilot display information, and data presentation for the system operator.

The use of common processors for different sensor modules reduces maintenance and spares requirements.

Software standardization and modularity shortens and simplifies the learning curve of service personnel

Interfacing of individual sensors is accomplished via standard RS-232 serial communication channels

AGIS MAIN FEATURES

  • High brightness color display displaying navigation and acquired data in a variety of user configurations
  • Available Touch Screen eliminates frustration of keyboard entries under stressful or turbulent sea states
  • User friendly Man-machine interface
  • AGIS design increases reliability and reduces complexity. Mean time between failures is increased and mean repair time is decreased. This has a direct positive impact on the cost of data acquisition and system readiness
  • Modularity of the system lends itself to be used universally either as a complete system, or as a unique instrument
  • AGIS data format is easily converted into Geosoft - Oasis or ASCII formats by a supplied conversion program (PEIView)
  • Easy connection to 'Intelligent Sensors' via standard serial communication link

 
System Consist of:

NAVIGATION

  • Aircraft guidance
  • Operator information
  • Data synchronization to GPS position
  • Pilot Guidance Unit (PGU)
